Saint's book, "Project Arcade" does not include steps to building a JAMMA cab from scratch.

Most of the people on this forum would advise you to buy a JAMMA cab and make any necessary adjustments (e.g. Control Panel, Art, etc.)

I redid a cabinet and made it JAMMA. I used the existing A/C wiring (after replacing the main power cord), but did the rest from scratch, including redesigning the CP and wiring it for JAMMA.

Check out Bob Roberts site for info on building a cab.

Good luck,
Rocky

Huh ??? Have you not seen the Buy/Sell/Trade forum?

Here's a free cab
Here's a Megalo cab
Here's a VF2 Deluxe cab
Here's a bunch of stuff.

And all of those are on the first page of the B/S/T forum meaning that those threads have been active within the last 2 days.   

Methinks that moonpatrol 4 lyfe's post is good advice

If you're interested in an empty cab to start with, there's some talk in this thread about cutting up empty cabs in Oklahoma because nobody wants them.
